Documentary Film Showing & Discussion

"Visions of Utopia:

Ever since the 6th Century BC-when Buddha instructed his followers to live in
community-people have been living together "intentionally" based on shared
visions of a better world. In the ensuing 2500 years there have been an amazing
array of visionary social experiments:  egalitarians, anarchists, Christians,
Eastern spiritual groups, Quakers, environmentalists, back-to-the-landers,
psychologists, artists, urban homesteaders, land co-ops, student co-ops, and 
much
more.

Today there exist thousands of these visionary groups, living their everyday
lives in ways that reflect their values and visions. "Visions of Utopia"
features an overview of the wide range of histories, philosophies, and 
lifestyles
currently available in shared living communities. An open discussion with film
maker Geoph Kozeny will follow.
